The methods of manufacturing a curable wax, such as an acrylate of a hydroxyl-terminated polyethylene wax having the structure CH&#x2014;(CH)&#x2014;CHOH, where n=22-24, are disclosed. The methods may include reacting a wax having a transformable functional group and a curable compound in the presence of an organic solvent to form an acrylate. The methods may further include removing excess curable compound using hot water having a temperature of more than 85&#xb0; C., and solidifying the acrylate. The methods may thereby provide safe and cost effective methods for curable wax production at large scale.

Scalable process for synthesis of a curable wax

The methods of manufacturing a curable wax, such as an acrylate of a hydroxyl-terminated polyethylene wax having the structure CH&#x2014;(CH)&#x2014;CHOH, where n=22-24, and removing a fouled material in a reactor are disclosed. The methods may include reacting a wax having a transformable functional group and a curable compound in the absence of an organic solvent to form an acrylate. The methods may further include removing excess curable compound using hot water having a temperature of more than about 85&#xb0; C., solidifying the acrylate, removing the acrylate, and removing a fouled material in the reactor by emulsification.

Solvent-free process for synthesis of a curable wax

A process for converting an arylamine into an arylamine derivative, includes (i) providing a first arylamine compound; (ii) formylating the first arylamine compound to form a formyl substituted arylamine compound, where the first arylamine compound is not a formyl substituted arylamine compound; and (iii) acidifying the formyl substituted arylamine compound, in the presence of a solvent and a solid organic catalyst, to convert formyl functional groups into acid functional groups to form an acidified compound.

Arylamine process

A toner process comprising the aggregation and coalescence of a sulfonated polyester and a colorant, and wherein said polyester possesses a degree of sulfonation or a sulfonation percentage of from about 0.5 to about 3 mol percent.
